Hepatocyte nuclear factor4-α (HNF4, HNF4a; NR2A1) is a member of the orphan nuclear receptor family. HNF4-α is expressed in liver, kidney, intestine and pancreas tissue. Mutation of HNF4-α in humans has been associated with maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 1 (MODY1). HNF4 binds to DNA as an exclusive homodimer. The HNF4-α gene is alternatively spliced and may generate up to nine different isoforms, HNF4-α 1 through HNF4-α 9.
